A COMPLEX CHUG Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hey guys , currently trying to do the Jackpot! achievement (SSS rank every mission on Nephilm). However i'm struggling with it and cant seem to get a SSS rank to save my life; only SS's. I'm switching weapons as much as i can. I was hoping someone could give me tips. Cheers.

STARINFLAMES21 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Demon Dodge then use Trinity Smash level 2. I got SSS on everything under 3:30 hours just doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg30 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Demon Dodge then use Trinity Smash level 2. I got SSS on everything under 3:30 hours just doing that. if you get an SSS rank in combat early on can you then just leg it through the rest of a level without trying to get anymore SSS ranks?

xTGMx INF3RNO Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 No you need a certain amount of points. However like he said Demon dodge and trinity smash is very good. Gets you a instant SSS. I start hitting them with Aquila then wait a dodge then Trinity smash ( RT+Y Y Pause Y) Goes up too SSS very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAJUNKIES Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm struggling with this too. Can't seem to get demon dodge nailed yet. Love the game tho so going to keep at it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry94 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I managed to SSS everything without demon evade, too random for me that move. I used buy in with Aquila, then threw the blades at them. As they are all grouped, I just used trinity smash on the group and got instant SSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A COMPLEX CHUG Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks so much for all your tips, everyone. i appreciate it. I am currently using the Demon Evade and Trinity Smash its working really well. So far done 12 missions Another question: im aware that if you use health stars or whatever they are called, you get a deduction in your score and rank but what if you use Demon Trigger Stars; curious Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTIcA Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I believe those will also deduct from your score. I'm not 100% sure as I've never used any items so far, but I'm just going by the fact that it says "Items Used" at the end of a mission, and it technically is an item Also, just like to share my combo that I used to get SSS in almost every battle on Nephilim difficulty (excluding bosses of course): Double Jump > RT+X > (Rebellion) Y,Y...Y > LT+X > (Aquila) LT+Y,Y...Y > LT+Y > (Revenant) X > RT+X > (Eryx) RT+Y > RT+B (fully charged) Pretty much guaranteed an SSS against crowds of weaker monsters thanks to being invincible in the air and Dante's defiance of gravity. Upgrading Eryx's two attacks (RT+Y and RT+B in the air) help deal out massive damage as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A COMPLEX CHUG Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just got all missions on SSS rank. I did use the devil trigger quite a few times and it doesnt affect the score alot as people above me said. I literally beat Virgil on my first try, mostly used Eryx charged and alot of dodges. Just a tip if anyone is struggling with him. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg30 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 just done the 12th mission, i have gained 7 SSS ranks, the others i got SS. weird though how you can get SSS on style and SS on time and still get SSS rank at the end but if you get SS on style and SSS on time you only get SS rank, this is with collectables at SSS already. strange how that works.

Thats because you only need a certain amount of style points to get different ranks in style but it may not be enough to get you the overall SSS rank. For example you may only need 100k style points for a SSS in style but you could get double that amount giving you the overall SSS rank. Yet in the mission you got an SS in style it could be 70k to get SS and 100k for SSS. So if you got say 73k style points you only just got enough for a SS but not enough to get the overall SSS rank. Apologies if that doesn't make sense its late and I'm tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly Krueger Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I've got a question, I'm playing the game on Human beating it, then going back for collectables, do all your stats carry over for different game difficulties? Will everything I've done on Human carry over to Heaven and Hell difficulty? It sounds like it will but I'm just confused on the whole thing. And yes I played the previous ones, just never any past 1 playthrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eykster Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 You always downgrade your weapons so you can have more hitpoints (longer combo's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topherion Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 You could always take a look at the leaderboards to get a general idea. You usually have to scroll down a few hundred positions to find the lower end of the SSS range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly Krueger Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Demon evade and then use the trinity smash, worked perfect for me, just evaded everything incoming and used the rebellion to finish them off. The only level I had a problem with was level 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You usually have to scroll down a few hundred positions to find the lower end of the SSS range. i tried that but some people got a huge score but not much on collectables so it was hard to really find a decent low score with collectables done at 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1mpr3gn4t0r Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hi - would it be easier to get higher scores (for SSS rank) if I get Super Dante first? At the moment, I've got SSS rank on the first 16 missions, currently working on the 17th (Furnace?). I read that you can unlock Super Dante with infinite Devil Trigger - may be it will be quicker if I unlock Super Dante first, and then go back to doing the SSS ranks?
